About
A slight description change in the 2025 code of points update saw this element changed from being a “ring jump” to a “sissone to ring position,” but it is a clarification without a difference since the ring jump always required an angled split to land on one foot. But if you want to call it a sissone ring, that sounds fun. Be my guest.

We don’t really see them in elite floor because, at B (0.2) value, why would you do the ring jump when you could also…not do it, and everything would be the same?

Because gymnastics is a comedy, not a drama
